Love/Hate

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2003)

28 Days Later is the kind of movie where you simultaneously think it's brilliant and yet not. The beginning was way too slow in setting the scene, which I disliked. In the first 5 minutes I figured what was happening and have seen those 'wandering the streets' scenes before in On The Beach. Then it did borrow heavily from Omega Man whereas I thought it'd be more Night of the Living Dead. There were many disturbing scenes. When the group I was with left the theater, it was, like, "what the heck was that?" Yet, undeniably thought provoking, nightmarish, and quite well done.
